From a single cohort to a full department or college — up to 300 students in one semester, delivered fully online, with no travel, no campus infrastructure and no faculty supervision required. Every assignment is graded every day by code against a published rubric, so what your placement cell reports is an auditable record rather than self-reported progress. Delivered by The CloudAdvisory.

Three steps, and a written proposal before anything is committed to.
Tell us the department, the student group and your semester calendar. You get a written proposal for your institution — cohort size, dates, visibility mode, success metrics and fee — before any commitment.
We work to your institution's standard MoU or services-agreement template, or provide a draft. Your department selects the students it wants on the programme — the licence covers the cohort, so the final decision on who takes part is yours.
Daily automated grading, progress reports through the cohort, a standing review with your nominated academic owner, and an end-of-cohort report you may cite in your own accreditation and placement reporting.
The same scope at every licence band. Larger cohorts are supported by more co-mentors, not by less attention per student.
| Component | Scope for one cohort |
|---|---|
| Curriculum, assignments and platform access | 77 graded assignments · 7 real applications · 24 deployments · 10 AI-assisted assignments · 6+1 capstones and a final project, for every student in the cohort |
| Onboarding | A structured onboarding session opening the programme — environment setup, tooling, and how the week-by-week structure and grading work |
| Live mentoring and support | Daily live support through the opening weeks, a weekly live session thereafter, a dedicated Discord channel for the cohort, and a 24-hour response commitment on working days |
| Automated assessment and verification | Daily automated grading against a published rubric, with continuous scoring and a leaderboard page carrying the institution's name |
| Reporting to the institution | Written progress reports, faculty reviews through the cohort, and an end-of-cohort report you may cite in accreditation and regulatory reporting |
| Certification | A certificate of completion awarded on merit — every assignment and project completed, plus a co-mentor judgement of readiness to work independently on a real project. Attendance alone does not earn it |
| Institution-wide session | One live session open to the whole institution, provided at no charge |
Delivery, mentoring and grading are ours. No teaching is required from your faculty.
Chosen before the cohort starts, so it can be reviewed against your institution's own policies.
| Mode | Who can see a student's record | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Public | Profiles, leaderboard and badge pages are openly visible, so a graduate can point an employer at verifiable evidence of what they built. This is the default, and the only mode on our open cohorts. | Standard |
| Private | Profiles, leaderboard, badges and the cohort's Discord channel are published at a private, unlisted address shared only with your institution and the students themselves — not indexed by search engines, and not linked from any public page. | Licensed partnerships |
Two things worth stating plainly before your placement cell commits to anything.
A student receives it only after completing every assignment and project, and only where the co-mentors judge that the student is capable of working independently on a real project in a real company. Participation alone does not earn it — which is precisely what makes it worth something in your placement reporting.
DMI is a training programme. It does not promise employment, placement, an internship offer or any career outcome, and we will not suggest otherwise. What it does produce is a complete, auditable record of what each student built — evidence your placement cell can put in front of an employer.
Accreditation bodies are shifting toward demonstrable, verified competencies. That is exactly what a graded cohort produces.
The National Education Policy requires vocational and skill credits as part of every degree programme. DMI is a ready-made, externally delivered skill track with a per-student graded record behind it.
Student Support & Progression is a weighted component of the institutional SSR, scored on progression and employability-skill development. A cohort generates real, per-student completion data you can cite directly.
The revised SAR format calls for demonstrable, verified graduate competencies rather than completed coursework alone. Daily-graded, auditable output is built for that standard.
The same end-of-cohort report is issued for reporting to MQA, SETARA or equivalent, with the graded record behind every figure available for inspection.
Reporting formats vary by country, institution and accreditation cycle. Tell us the template you have to file against and we will issue the report to match it, rather than leave your team to apportion our figures.
Nothing in the report is a number only we can see. Each student's score traces back to a public graded record, assignment by assignment, with the date it was scored.
Your students would join a system that is already operating, not a pilot being built around them.
Graduates are working as DevOps, SRE and cloud engineers at 12 companies — among them WithSecure, ADP, Accenture and Tata Consultancy Services — across seven countries. Earned placements, not sponsored logos. See the alumni →

Led by Pravin Mishra (15+ years cloud and DevOps consulting, 3 published books) with a team of named co-mentors — several of them DMI alumni who came back to teach. Capacity does not depend on one trainer's calendar, which is what makes a 300-student licence deliverable.

DMI is Pravin's curriculum and grading system. Institutional partnerships — contracting, invoicing and mentor delivery — run through The CloudAdvisory Oy, a Finnish company (business ID 3419631-2).
Pravin designs the curriculum and grading system and leads mentor delivery — the technical and academic side of every campus partnership, from onboarding through the final capstone.
Milla leads the campus side of the DMI/CloudAdvisory partnership — scoping engagements, contracting, and staying the point of contact for your placement cell throughout.
Anjana runs the partnership day to day once it starts — onboarding your cohort, keeping your coordinator updated on how students are progressing, and chasing anything that needs chasing. She is the person your placement cell actually talks to week to week.
